The Hennessy cognac distillery was founded by Irish military officer, Richard Hennessy in 1765. During the 1970s, Kilian Hennessy, a fifth-generation direct descendant of Hennessy, became the CEO of Hennessy, succeeding his first cousin Maurice-Richard. Kilian Hennessy spearheaded the company's 1971 merger with Moët et Chandon, which created Moët Hennessy.

Add all ingredients except Champagne and soda to a shaker tin with ice and shake until chilled, strain into a Collins glass with fresh ice. Top with equal parts Champagne and soda, garnish with a lemon wheel.
